Public image and simplicity are the kings though. I was under the impression hydrogen-powered cars would prove more expensive to develop, but correct me if I'm wrong.

True, but in my eyes worth it. When it comes to simplicity for the public, two minutes to refuel is better than 12 hours racking up your electricity bill.

Actually in the long run Hydrogen power will turn out to more cheapers. Right now majority of the elctricity produced is through fossil fuel, because of the emissions it causes and the green movement they moving towards solar. That too require a huge investment and they are not as efficient as fossil fuels so they large pieces of land in remote areas To generate that much.

If we are talking alternate fuel sources, Hydrogen all the way. Car companies seem to have focussed resources on Electric cars despite the fact that it is vastly inferior.

Everyone acts as if Electricity is clean, but creating batteries alone has a massive pollution rate, not to mention the shipping or the fossil fuels used to create the electricity to charge them.

Actually, hydrogen is not a power source. Hydrogen is extracted from water using electrical energy. Then the hydrogen is burned, but the energy it develops is much less than the electrical energy that was used to extract it from water. Hydrogen is really an energy storage solution, and an inefficient one at that. Because of this, hydrogen power will never be successful in cars.

Only if extract the hydrogen from water. There are loads of sources of hydrogen, in fact it's the most abundant element in the known universe. The problem is extracting it. Once that hurdle is passed it becomes a very viable method of powering cars.

It's still the best we have at the moment. I can't see the battery operated electric cars being the future of Public cars, let alone F1

One major obstacle to major acceptance is access. There are some customers willing to endure having to go to considerable effort towards using the fuel system of their choice, but for most, whatever is near and easy works. And let's face it, it is incredibly easy to locate a nearby gasoline filling station, whereas.. where is the closest hydrogen filling station?

The major fuel suppliers have established a consistent, reliable, and easily accessable system to sell their products to the general population. That does not apply to the hydrogen suppliers. Electricity is just as easily acessable, but charging up the car with an extension cord from the nearest wall socket is still not optimal.

One of those strange coincidences, I was reading in a trade journal today that one of the current leaders in developing hydrogen power plants (and crackers) is Audi. I wonder if this had any baring in talks?(sorry, cant provide links, paper only)
